Even better are the so-called “ultra-lights”, which are still thick and 3+ pounds…

Yeah, definitely better than the classic 15 inch bricks which are still called “laptops” (though most people wouldn't want to balance these monsters on their laps for a longer time ;) , but still the words thin, light or ultra-light are somehow riduculous.

The Vaio X with about 700g for 11.6″ is maybe the only notebook which really deserves to be called thin and light.
